Hi all,

First of all, thank you Lisi for trying to calm down these folks! I'm not always on the computer, and I had quite a big week!

The worse in that is that the user coudn't figure out that he made a mistake, and not that my hundred-times-tested PCLinuxOS non-official TDE remaster has such a problem... Are-we facing a code 18 :)

The install can be started by 2 ways:
Regular way: By the install icon on the desktop while running the LiveCD
The ''low-ram'' way: By selecting to go directly to the installer on the grub menu of the LiveCD

Once the partitions has been made and the stuff is installed (I don't remember if it is right after, or at first boot), the system ask for creating an user. You have to create an user, or else the system is going to be used by nobody :)
During the user creating process, the PCLinuxOS installer copy the skeleton of what is needed in the user folder. This is made automatically, but if you want to know it for your own knowledge, it is in /etc/skel/.
The only thing I can see is that you probably skipped creating an user for any reason.

Then, login with the user you just created and you're ready to go!

Once TDE R14.0.1 will be out, I will rebuild my remaster on top of it, but for now I stick to 3.5.13.2 for reasons pointed out by Lisi. Also, the point of having so much stuff on the LiveCD is to have almost everything ''on board'' to setup a freshly formatted computer without needing to install stuff that you would install anyway, such as LibreOffice, and maybe as LIsi said I might like complexity :)

Have a great day!
-Alexandre
